  I really don't understand this

  why, if you're a health care worker who's been exposed to the ebola virus, would you get on an airplane and travel right after?.

  Yep, it just got real in my backyard. She traveled here to Akron to visit her mother. It has been on all our local channels nonstop since noon. Apparentley, they were told not to travel, but it was left up to their own discretion if they were showing symptoms. Man, can't begin to imagine the people she came in contact with from the time she left her home till she returned!

  The 1995 Ebola Zaire outbreak was started by a JW

  the dead man is gaspard menga, a jehovah's witness who was the first person to contract ebola in 1995. the people around him, are his family.

  within a month, most of the ones on this picture were dead from ebola.

  it was because of gaspard that we now know that african burial rites are a mayor cause in spreading ebola.

  Yes, punkofnice, that reminds me of when Pat Robertson and Jerry Falwell said 9/11 was caused by "feminists, gays, lesbians and the ACLU".

  Come with me, back to the 1980s--you know want to.

  i don't know about ya'll, but i did not appreciate the 1980s enough.

  i was too busy lamenting how different they were from the 1960s and 1970s to bask in and appreciate how wonderful they were.. this is 80s music, especially new wave music, and 80s fashion and culture appreciation thread.

  what did you love about the 80s?

  My life changed big time in the 80's. I learned to drive, I was 30 believe it or not I waited that long, and for some reason got in to country music. Driving and country music seemed to go together, and no I wasn't driving a pickup truck. I think I got into country because as a child of the 60's with the Beatles and the British Invasion music that I loved, 70's rock music was just too loud and radical for me and I had stopped listening. Country seemed close to light rock. That also seemed the time when country was still country before so many cross over people started calling themselves country. But I did like some rock like Hootie and the Blowfish and I am really happy that the voice of that group, Darius Rucker, is now doing country. I also admit to liking Michael Jackson, but never, ever believed he was a practicing JW!

  It was in 1984 that my JW hubby found another younger JW sweetie and I was on my own after 12 years of faithful wifedom. Went back to work, met new non-JW hubby, had my daughter and have never looked back. So while the 80's were briefly a bit of turmoil for me, they were also my years of freedom from the JWs.

  What will you do to celebrate Oct 2 2014?

  by jwfacts in

  1. watchtower
  2. scandals

  like most people reading this, i was convinced that by 2014 the new system would 'definitely' have been operating for at least a decade.

  now that i know this is not going to be the case i am going to have to think of some way to recognise 100 years of wts let downs and failed predictions.

  there is no point fretting over the past so i think it will be a good time to celebrate.

  Reddit Has Done a Great Job Lately at Exposing the Watchtower to Millions

  by Emery in

  1.5 months ago there was a perfectly timed reddit topic about jw false prophecies that made it on to the front page of reddit.

  this certainly didn't bold so well fortheir historic campaign.

  the front-page of reddit had over 135 million unique visitors last month.

  Wow, had never seen Reddit before, but scrolling down through the comments, I think more people have a handle on JW craziness that I realized. You think most people just think of them as "that religion that doesnt celebrate Christmas or salute the flag", but its good to see that more people are becoming familiar with how bat sh** crazy they are!

  You dont realize what a blessing good neighbors are until you have bad ones. We have been blessed for 30 years with helpful, quiet, non intrusive neighbors. Good for you and have a great get away!

  Yeah, when I was growing up, anytime there was a question about paradise, they always said Jehovah will take care of it in a twinkling of the eye. Like, don't worry about it, don't speculate, just pick out the house that will be yours in the new system as you go from door to door in the upscale neighborhoods.
